The vein on Robin's forehead throbbed, his frustration so palpable it seemed to seep through the screen. "And what exactly do you mean by you can't make decisions?"
Colorado shrugged helplessly, "What I mean is that I'm not the CEO in the company. I don't have the deciding power."
Robin hung his head, his eyelids lowered, making it impossible to see his facial expression. But from the trembling of his shoulders, it was clear how furious he was.
Colorado raised an eyebrow, seemingly at ease as he watched him. Inside, he was filled with glee. He knew this old fox had been lurking for years, honing his skills in hiding his emotions. But who was he? The one and only Colorado. His specialty was provoking these types of people.
Finally, with a loud "bang," Robin couldn't hold it in any longer and slammed his fists onto the desk. In the video, anger was evident all over his face. "So you've been playing me all along?"
Colorado chuckled, waving his hand dismissively, "No, no. How could I dare to play with the esteemed CEO of the Harper Group? Since you are so sincere, I should also be honest with you. Mr. Robin, don't be mad. You should know that Obsidian has never accepted any invitations before. The Harper Group is indeed special. Don't you agree?"d2
Robin was boiling with anger, "I'm truly grateful for giving me this honor."
Colorado continued to laugh, waving his hand, "Not at all, not at all."
Robin made an effort to control his temper, taking a few deep breaths before slowly raising his gaze to look at Colorado. "Since this is the case, I hope you can pass on our conversation to your CEO. My proposal is definitely beneficial for both of us."
"Mutually beneficial?"
Colorado reclined on the couch, his long legs dramatically crossed over each other. His hands were leisurely resting on either side of the couch, the smile on his face slowly fading, leaving a faint, mysterious smirk.
"As far as I know, the Harper Group has been experiencing a series of incidents since you took over. Frankly speaking, Obsidian is in a position to dominate the market on its own. Even though some things take time and effort, the returns are all ours, not shared with others. Does it still seem mutually beneficial?"
Colorado paused, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.
"Mr.Robin, your sincerity in wanting Obsidian to help stabilize your position within the Harper family is not enough to sway us, is it?"
Robin's suppressed anger surged again, "Using you to secure my position in the Harper family?"
"Hmm." He stared at the screen grimly for a long time before letting out a cold laugh, "What makes you think that I, as the current CEO of the Harper Group, would not be able to hold onto my position?"
Colorado shrugged casually. "Is that so? Then maybe I misunderstood you."
He sighed, shifting his position, "I will convey your proposal to our CEO. However, I think it would be better if you talk to him personally."
Robin gritted his teeth, "I wonder if the mysterious and respected CEO will give me this chance."
"Mysterious and respected" were words that seemed to be squeezed out between Robin's teeth, laden with sarcasm.
Colorado laughed, "It's quite a coincidence, our CEO will personally attend this year's Global Economic Summit. You can talk to him in person then."
